The Two Wings Mindfulness Newsletter

an ongoing invitation to explore and strengthen both wings

Two wings allow a bird to fly. Here, those wings are mindfulness and heartfulness, and this newsletter is an ongoing invitation to explore and strengthen both.

  • Scroll down and enter your name and email address — and welcome!

  • Once or twice a month, I send a newsletter that's part practice, part reflection, part invitation.

    • A brief awareness practice to help you pause and reconnect with yourself

    • A personal story or reflection on a theme that feels alive and timely

    • Wisdom from poets, thinkers, and teachers — guides on the path

    • Upcoming offerings: classes, courses, retreats, coaching, and drop-in gatherings

    • My father's bird photographs

    • Humor sprinkled throughout

  • The newsletter draws from multiple wells: contemporary psychology, mindfulness-based compassion practice, and ancient wisdom from a wide variety of traditions, with Buddhist and Jewish teaching appearing most often, as these are the wells I know most deeply. You don't need to identify with any particular tradition to feel at home here, just a curiosity about your inner life and a wish to live with greater presence, meaning, connection, and authenticity.

  • Not at all. Just a curiosity about your inner life and a wish to live with greater presence, meaning, connection, and authenticity.

  • Yes, and you will be the first to know about upcoming offerings. Offerings are described in each newsletter with enough detail to help you sense whether an upcoming class or retreat might be a good fit for you. You can also find some current offerings throughout the Two Wings Mindfulness website.
